Christmas Movie Review: ****A Christmas Carol (1999)

Made for T.V. "A Christmas Carol" 1999 with  Patrick Stewart is one of the better versions and one of my favorite.  In all the viewing I have done, this is the one that takes first place for me.  Patrick Stewart is superb.  In the first he goes to strike a child with his walking stick, which was very harsh.  The movie is choppy at places with stops made for commercial breaks, but the characters come through.  The first ghost was not a woman and I thought this fit perfectly with the character.  The change from miserly to charitable Scrooge was done in a believable fashion.
